Follow up questions to the o!Sky pollen, does he still gravitate towards Time? Is Time willing to help him in the same way that the poly!boys did? Would he even know how to react with his sweet, reserved Sky suddenly being a flirt? After Sky is out of the effects of the pollen how would he act?
Thank you ❤️
Good morniiiiing I was going to answer this last night and then I slept 10 hours oopsie
Sky would definitely still gravitate toward Time. Regardless of whether Time is obsessed with finding proper shelter for them or not, which can prove... inconvenient. But Sky's naturally curious nature will have him reaching out to the others, too. They're all Safe, and he's been with many of them at their most vulnerable, and his scent is incredibly distracting. That coupled with his status and, well, the inevitable is inevitable. Those alphas better get on finding them a safe place to ride this out FAST.
When Time is mentally ready, he is Definitely willing to help Sky in any and every way he can. It would definitely be a change to get used to for, as you said, normally-reserved Sky to be kind of throwing himself at his alpha with total disregard for who is watching. But Time takes all things in stride. He harbors no jealousy toward the rest of the team. In the extremely unlikely event that an outsider were to try and get pulled into it, though, Time would shut that down both swiftly and firmly.
Once Sky recovers, he's probably going to be the most relaxed he's ever been in his life. That peaceful settling would remind him so much of time spent on Skyloft in the Before that he'll happily float there for a long while. He and Time would be left alone to help ease Sky back to reality (and to take care of any residual needs). Once Sky truly comes to there might be a moment of panic, that "What did I do???" moment, but Time relays the events in that easy, matter-of-fact way that he does to dispel Sky's anxiety. There would perhaps be some residual embarrassment, but the rest of the group is so happy to see him again and so accepting of the whole thing that if anything, it draws Sky closer to them all because of it.
